Spaces after periods

Hey guys!

You are doing very well on the article reviews. We just wanted to point out that with the APA manual, 6th ed., you are technically supposed to have two spaces after the period when ending a sentence (see p. 88).

    Just two pieces of clarification and one potential resource.

    First, make sure that you do NOT put two spaces between the elements of the reference (even though they have periods).

    Second, the piece about two spaces at the end of the sentence is recommended, but not required http://www.apastyle.org/manual/whats-new.aspx). It certainly makes non-typeset papers easier to read, but it's not required.

    If you are feeling less than confident in your APA style mastery, you may find the following tutorial helpful:
